The Quiet Achiever - Patricia Huckle

“The bastard’s trying to kill me,” Joel said, as the huge SUV came at him at speed. The heavy bull bars crashed into the rear of his vehicle. His old Toyota took off like a rocket, nose first, doing a complete somersault as it careened off the mountain. He had the crazy image of moon, stars, black mountainside, rocks and water as the vehicle bounced and tumbled its way to wedge itself at a precarious angle where it rocked gently for a few seconds before continuing its downward journey, ending with a sudden jolt. The windscreen shattered millions of diamonds spraying his face and body. The last thing he saw, before he received a horrendous knock on the head, was the bonnet of his vehicle flying through the air. When Joel took the call on that sweltering morning, he had no idea what was in store. It’s been six years since Denise, the love of his life, dumped him. Now she’s missing and he’s been asked to find her. To top it off, someone is trying to kill him. In this true-to-life mystery, readers are shown the lives of a missing woman, members of the police, the good, the bad, the downright evil people Joel Lester must deal with, and friendships formed in true New South African style. Patricia Huckle was born and educated in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, but spent most of her life in Cape Town. “After being widowed, I took up residence in Australia, where I resumed my love affair with the pen. I now have a new partner with whom I travel the world, and our home is on the beautiful Gold Coast.” Publisher’s website: http://sbpra.com/PatriciaHuckle
